        RESIGNATION AS CHAPLAIN OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Higgins of Louisiana) laid before the 
House the following resignation from the House of Representatives:

                                            Office of the Chaplain


                                     House of Representatives,

                                    Washington, DC, 15 April 2018.
     Hon. Paul D. Ryan,
     Speaker, U.S. Capitol.
       Dear Paul, the Peace of Christ! As you have requested, I 
     hereby offer my resignation as the 60th Chaplain of the 
     United States House of Representatives. It has been an honor 
     to serve the People's House for these nearly seven years. 
     After mutual consideration, it is determined my final day 
     will be 24 May 2018.
       The position is one which I did not seek nor strive to 
     assume, but I have seen it as a blessing and I have 
     considered it one of the great privileges of my life.
       I wish all the best for the House of Representatives, and 
     for your upcoming search for a worthy successor in the Office 
     of the Chaplain.
           Sincerely,
                                          Patrick J. Conroy, S.J.,
                                                         Chaplain.
